Put this in your diary.

Oran Park June 1/2/3. Historic racing.

Rod Markland and Terry Ashwood will be racing their ex Gibson Motorsport HR31 Skylines in the Group A/C category.

These cars are still in their original Nissan colours, just as they raced in 1988/89/90

The big news is that The Grant/Grant Sizzler car (GMS chassis #4) should be making a comeback.

The car was found in New Zealand and is in excellent condition, in its original Sizzler colours.

It should be arriving back in Australia around the end of this month, and the new owner is keen to have it at Oran Park.

Should be huge, 3 HR31's howling around the circuit.

Be there and cheer on the Nissans!

Rod Markland had his R31 at Wakefield Park yesterday and it was awesome.

These cars did not have any of the level of development that the Gibson R32 GTR’s had (e.g. it was running a plenum that was very similar to a GTS-T’s with a single throttle body) yet it was amazingly quick down the straights compared to the Ford and Holdens that it was running against.

To see three R31’s on the track at once will be great.

Do you know who's going to be racing the Sizzler car?

I was there at Wakefield on the weekend as well...the R31 was awsome...even the starts(Terry and Rod could take some leasons)....nothing beats cubic inch's aye...except for a 2lt turbo NISSAN....V8's are dinosaurs....talking about dinosaurs....Did anyone hear the announcer on the Saturday...he sounded a bit limp wristed....great job Mark....lol

Chris was awsome with the drifting!!!!
